You are so opaque

to me your brief moments

of apparent transparency

seem fraudulent windows

in a Brutalist structure

everyone admires

The effort your life

The aim of constructive uncertainty

lies in the corner between two windows. Such that

we, welcoming the indistinct, unlocks the door

because it likes the sound.

We abstracts the whistled body

of the world. The hazards of this opposition

become clear: the ear listens to what

becomes it, the blood flowing through it.
